This charming antique cast iron Boston Terrier doorstop is a wonderful example of early 20th-century American decorative castings, likely produced by Hubley or another high-quality foundry working in the same period. The sculptor captured the classic stance and personality of the breed beautifully—alert ears, steady gaze, and strong musculature—all rendered with the weight and presence collectors expect from original cast iron figures. The piece retains traces of its original painted surface, now mellowed into a warm, timeworn patina that adds to its charm and authenticity.
Cast in two halves and joined at the seam, the doorstop reflects the construction typical of Hubley’s early dog figures. The black and cream coloration, molded fur details, and expressive face are all consistent with period examples. Whether displayed on the floor, on a shelf, or used functionally as intended, it adds a touch of Americana with personality and history. It’s a great choice for collectors of Hubley, dog figurines, or early cast iron decorative objects.
In nice antique condition with honest wear to the paint, consistent with age and use. The doorstop is solid, heavy, and stable. A delightful piece for any home that appreciates vintage décor, canine collectibles, or authentic early cast iron craftsmanship.
